Chronicler

Chronicler is a Seattle-based game development studio specializing in co-op puzzle shooters and immersive storytelling.

We’re a diverse team of ‘unicorns’ – experienced game developers and artists – dedicated to crafting cherished, detailed worlds and fostering genuine collaboration between players and developers.

Chronicler was founded in 2019 by ex-Xbox and Red Hat designer Derek Reese, Rasmus Rasmussen, and Joe Wills, and we’ve built a robust history of creating impactful, intimate, and inspiring stories, drawing on 80+ collective years of TTRPG storytelling experience. Our approach centers on pro-social gameplay and a family-friendly server, ensuring every mechanic enhances the joy of playing with loved ones.

Currently, we’re in the vertical slice phase, building a demo to secure marketplace traction and publisher deals, fueled by a $5M production budget and a commitment to sustainable growth.
